I recently purchased a 1963 Evinrude 40 HP lark V selectric shift. I am able to start it no problem, it idles OK, could use a little tune up, probably a carb adjustment or cleaning. Shifting works, has an even 80 psi using the pull start, haven't checked that yet using the starter. I pulled the fly wheel and examined the coils, no cracks. Cleaned the points, wasn't too concerned with gap as it starts easy. Anyways, undergo, it really seems to be lacking power, especially at WOT. Here is a link to a video I took on the lake today at full power. It has about as much power as my 1956 evinrude 15 hp.
